Important Safety Information
This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unexpected symptoms. For serious or life-threatening side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
The most common adverse reactions occur at the application site, including dermatitis, itching or scaling.
These tend to be dose-‐limiting and diminish with time.
Serious adverse experiences following the administration of Lidothol are similar in nature to those observed in other amide anesthetic-‐containing agents.
These adverse experiences are, in general, dose-‐related and may result from high plasma levels caused by excessive dosage, rapid absorption, or may result from hypersensitivity, idiosyncrasy, or a diminished tolerance on the part of the patient.
Serious adverse experiences are generally systemic in nature.
During or immediately after treatment with Lidothol, the skin at the site of application may develop redness, blisters, bruising, burning sensation, depigmentation, dermatitis, or mild irritation.
Allergic Reactions Allergic and anaphylactoid reactions associated with Lidocaine, although rare, can occur.
They are characterized by angioedema, bronchospasm, dermatitis, dyspnea, hypersensitivity, laryngospasm, pruritus, shock, and urticaria.
If they occur, consult your doctor.
Excessive dosage or short interval between doses can result in high plasma levels and serious adverse effects.
Patients should be instructed to strictly adhere to the recommended dosage and administration guidelines set forth in this literature and on your prescription label.
The management of serious adverse reactions may require the use of resuscitative equipment, oxygen or other resuscitative drugs.
Accidental Exposure in Children Even a used Lidothol patch contains a large amount of Lidocaine.
The potential exists for a small child or a pet to suffer serious adverse effects from chewing or ingesting a new or used Lidothol patch, although the risk with this formulation has not been evaluated.
Like all medications, Lidothol Patch can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
